From ec087304adac8066c554f11cd473b7c797666a24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 01:17:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Jacobian x-check + inline wNAF zero-checks in verify MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two optimizations for verifySchnorr: 1. Jacobian x-coordinate check before toAffine: Instead of converting to affine first (1 inversion = ~270 field ops), check X == r·Z² in Jacobian coordinates (1 sqr + 1 mul = 2 ops). Invalid signatures (x mismatch) are rejected immediately without paying the inversion cost. Valid signatures still need inversion for the y-parity check. For Nostr, ~all sigs are valid so this mainly helps adversarial/spam rejection. 2. Inline wNAF zero-checks in mulDoubleG inner loop: ~70% of wNAF digits are zero. Previously, each still called addWnafMixedPP (function call overhead: null checks, frame setup). Now the zero-check is inlined before the call, avoiding ~364 function calls per verify. On ART (5-8ns per call), this saves ~2-3μs. On HotSpot, the JIT already optimized this — no change. https://claude.ai/code/session_01EMY5RnXb9rnsyU2KbXrSaY --- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/ECPoint.kt | 63 +++++++++++++++++-- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt | 27 ++++++-- 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/ECPoint.kt b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/ECPoint.kt index ab7968f31..bb31fb645 100644 --- a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/ECPoint.kt +++ b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/ECPoint.kt @@ -677,29 +677,80 @@ internal object ECPoint { cur.setInfinity() val negY = sc.mixNegY + // Inner loop: double + conditionally add from 4 wNAF streams. + // + // The wNAF zero-check is INLINED here rather than delegated to + // addWnafMixedPP. ~70% of digits are zero, so this avoids ~364 + // function calls per verify.
